"It's Not A Joke": Dublin Airbnb Host Lists Out Tent For Almost Rs 5,800 Per Night

Once the post went viral, internet users criticised the Airbnb host for charging heavily for a tent in his concrete garden.

A Dublin Airbnb host recently advertised a “private room” under the stars for nearly $75 (Rs 5,800) a night, but it was really just a pop-up tent on a backyard concrete slab.  👍🏼 pic.twitter.com/c3dZFa2mX5

A screenshot of the listing from the popular property rental website made its way to social media. The “private room in Dublin” offers one bed and a bath, presumably in the house it was set up behind. It was listed by an Airbnb host named Paul, who has more than 1,500 reviews for other spots, according to New York Post. 

In the first instance, many thought that someone was cracking a joke because of skyrocketing property prices in Dublin. However, these speculations were clarified when a housing activist emailed the user asking whether this advertisement was true.
